THIS ONE IS FABULOUS:
WRITTEN BY AN 8 YEAR OLD

How to Explain God was
written by Danny Dutton,
age 8, from Chula Vista,
California, for his third grade
homework assignment
"Explain God".

"One of God's main jobs is
making people. He makes
them to replace the ones
that die so there will be
enough people to take care
of things on earth. He
doesn't make grown-ups,
just babies. I think because
they are smaller and easier
to make. That way He
doesn't have to take up His
valuable time teaching them
to talk and walk. He can just
leave that to mothers and
fathers.

"God's second most
important job is listening to
prayers. An awful lot of this
goes on, since some people,
like preachers and things,
pray at times besides
bedtime. God doesn't have
time to listen to the radio or
TV because of this. Because
He hears everything, there
must be a terrible lot of
noise in His ears, unless He
has thought of a way to
turn it off. "God sees
everything and hears
everything and is
everywhere which keeps Him
pretty busy. So you
shouldn't go wasting His
time by going over your
mom and dad's head asking
for something they said you
couldn't have.

"Atheists are people who
don't believe in God. I don't
think there are any in Chula
Vista. At least there aren't
any who come to our
church.

"Jesus is God's Son. He used
to do all the hard work like
walking on water and
performing miracles and
trying to teach the people
who didn't want to learn
about God. They finally got
tired of Him preaching to
them and they crucified Him.
But He was good and kind,
like His Father and He told
His Father that they didn't
know what they were doing
and to forgive them and God
said O.K.

"His Dad (God) appreciated
everything that He had done
and all His hard work on
earth so He told Him He
didn't have to go out on the
road anymore. He could stay
in heaven. So He did. And
now He helps His Dad out by
listening to prayers and
seeing things which are
important for God to take
care of and which ones He
can take care of Himself
without having to bother
God. Like a secretary, only
more important.

"You can pray anytime you
want and they are sure to
help you because they got it
worked out so one of them
is on duty all the time.

"You should always go to
Church on Sunday because it
makes God happy, and if
there's anybody you want to
make happy, it's God. Don't
skip church to do something
you think will be more fun
like going to the beach. This
is wrong. And besides the
sun doesn't come out at the
beach until noon anyway.

"If you don't believe in God,
besides being an atheist, you
will be very lonely, because
your parents can't go
everywhere with you, like to
camp, but God can. It is good
to know He's around you
when you're scared in the
dark or when you can't swim
and you get thrown into real
deep water by big kids.

"But you shouldn't just
always think of what God
can do for you. I figure God
put me here and He can take
me back anytime He pleases.
And that's why I believe in
God.
